The end of technology.
Chapter 138 The unruly look is the cutest
Chapter 138 The unruly look is the cutest
"Today is the eleventh month and thirteenth day since I arrived in China. I was woken up by the ringing of the phone in the morning. The caller is Emmy Noether. As soon as this guy got through the call, he said that he plans to start researching the Gilbreth conjecture recently. , because he suspects that the Gilbreth conjecture reflects that the interval between adjacent prime numbers is restricted by the order of the prime numbers, and the sequence change of the interval between prime numbers shows that there is a gradual change in the mutation of the difference between adjacent prime numbers, which is one of the external characteristics shown by the law of prime number distribution .
This is really a wonderful idea. Although I don't agree with it, I still encourage him to continue in this direction.After all, he is already 35 this year. If he doesn't work hard, he will miss the Fields Medal in this life.Of course, I resolutely declined the invitation to study this topic together.After all, I don't want to be ridiculed by Ning Zi and start doing some boring subjects again.
I thought this thread was over.But Emmy also asked me if Ning Zi had considered solving the problem in this direction.Well, I understand, this guy didn't want to discuss this issue with me at all when he called, he was simply afraid that Ning Zi had already set his sights on the series of questions about Mason prime numbers.It makes me unhappy, do these guys forget that I'm also a Fields Medal man?
So I decided to scare him and told him that Ning Zi was working on solving the Landau Siegel conjecture.Sure enough, this answer made Emmy feel very disappointed in the following conversation.Well, in the end I relented and told him that Ning Zi should not have time to think about these issues at least for the time being.Because he is studying NP-type problems, he is also studying related quantum physics problems.
Although I teased him halfway, Emmy thanked me before hanging up the phone.Although his thanks are insincere in my opinion.Of course, those of us who are engaged in number theory are generally thankful without sincerity.After all, most of the time we do live in the world we construct, but most of us are frustrated all our lives. Fortunately, I should be regarded as an exception.
Nothing to say next.Yanbei University did not arrange my courses on Monday, so I had a very leisurely morning to think about the problem.The hateful thing is that the formula Ning Zi gave me still doesn't include the idea of overall adaptability, so I thought about many possibilities this morning, but I still have no clue.Yes, I wasted a good morning without the rewards of convincing myself I was there.
If I had known this, I shouldn't have hung up on Emmy so early. Maybe talking to him would give me some inspiration.But in that case, I will be compared to Ning Zi again, because he really rarely communicates with his peers.I don't know if I should feel honored, because he probably communicated with me the most on the mathematical level.However, his understanding of mathematics is obviously deeper than mine, and the content covered is also wider.
In any case, I will definitely not waste the time in the afternoon.Because today is another day to learn Chinese.My Chinese teacher Ding Shiwen came to my apartment on time at [-] o'clock in the afternoon. Today's learning content is complements, including result complements and quantity complements, etc.To be honest, Chinese is really a very strange language. After running and climbing mountains... They seem to be very keen to insert a word to express the meaning of a thing they do. To be honest, this Very FUCK!
I thought the result complement was already difficult, but the quantity complement made me feel even more broken.Because the number complements in Chinese are random. For example, I can say a year, a week, a day, and an hour, but if I just say a month, I can't!Because January can only refer to a certain month here, they invented a month to refer to a period of time in months.
In the same way, you can talk about a month, a week, or an hour, but you can't talk about a year, or a day... Ah, I'm already going crazy.But this has not yet introduced the concept of half. For example, one and a half months can be understood, and one and a half years can also be understood, but one and a half weeks is not allowed.Let's see, random, or random, I don't understand how Chinese people understand these messy rules when they were young, but I admire them for being able to use this language proficiently at a very young age, because it's too abstract!
But I still underestimated the deep malice of Chinese to human logical language, because there are time-quantity complements, momentum complements, possible complements, and trend complements.I have to work hard and it belongs to the future continuous tense, which means that I will start to work hard next time; I have to work hard, it is the present continuous tense, which means that I have worked hard before and will work hard again... God, it is really true to get up and keep going Is it used like this?Shouldn't it be standing up and sitting down?This damn Chinese!
Today's class ended very early, because I feel that I can't learn anymore.If someone told me before that a language can be designed to be more brain-intensive than math, I would just scoff.But today I believe it.So it is not surprising that people like Ning Zi appear in China. Human beings who can communicate without barriers in this language environment should have stronger abstract thinking ability.
Because it was not yet five o'clock, Teacher Ding didn't leave but started chatting with me.She said that if I really want to keep up with the trend of the times, I have to learn the current Internet Chinese.For example, Jiangyuan City represents a place name, but if someone says Gongyuan City on the Internet, it represents Jiangyuan City, which is very hot in summer or has been drought for a long time, which means that it is too dry and the water evaporates.
Well, this is really NICE.I don't understand what this teacher Ding meant by looking at me while laughing when he said this sentence. Maybe it's because I don't understand the humor of Huaxia people.Fortunately, Conan Lamar called me out of the blue and asked me to have dinner and a drink with me.I agreed to his invitation without thinking. After all, Conan is one of the few friends I have in China.
Although Fang is also a very nice person and would often discuss with me some cases about the complex power system, he is still too rigid.His thinking is not active enough, and he belongs to the kind of orthodox old-fashioned person. It makes people feel safe to deal with him, but he is very restrained.Conan Lamar is different. Although I know that this person is very cunning, and he really can't do that kind of thing, but after all, it is easy to communicate with him.
After seeing off Teacher Ding, he took a shower and went out.I made an appointment with Conan in Windy City. Thanks to the Fields Award, I have been given special treatment in school. I only need to make a phone call and arrange a special car to pick me up.When he arrived at the restaurant, the guy had already ordered a bottle of red wine which was said to be of good quality.But actually I prefer champagne, but today is his treat, so I put up with it.
I thought it was just an ordinary gathering of friends that Conan came to me, but he told me a very surprising thing.Ning Zi once showed him a very special smart software, the kind that can be programmed independently.In fact, after hearing his description, I think the original intention of this software is not to design other software or games, but to assist mathematicians in programming.
Come to think of it, mathematical languages are easier for machines to understand than natural languages.After thinking about it, I was disappointed.In the morning, I thought that I was the one who communicated with Ning Zi the most, but obviously I was not that important in Ning Zi's heart, for example, I didn't even know that such a software existed.Conan obviously didn't know for a day.Because according to him, he just talked about this issue with the president of Cisco yesterday, and maybe this software will be on the market soon.
Next comes a discussion on mathematics.Conan believes that Ning Zi's research on artificial intelligence number theory has reached a very deep level.Well, he actually wanted to ask me if I knew if Ning Zi had made a subversive breakthrough in this regard.I answered ambiguously, which made me feel more at ease.See, you still have to come to me when you encounter this kind of problem.Actually I don't know anything.
Recently, most of my exchanges with Ning Zi have focused on quasi-orthogonal problems, focusing on special branch problems in this type of problem.Something like C(B)=Σe∈BC(e), but I don't want to talk to Conan Lamar about that.Conan Lamar suspects that Ning Zi has solved the NP-complete problem to a certain extent, but only I know that he hopes to use quantum computing to solve this type of problem, and he is still exploring at this time.
Although I felt very comfortable in my heart, on the way back to school, I suddenly found that there was a big problem with my mentality.To use a Chinese idiom, it's jealousy?God can see that I was just forced to stay in the body, why now I have such a terrible idea?Stockholm Syndrome?Well, maybe I'm just curious whether Ning Zi can really solve that world's problem.Yes, it must be so.
It's time for the wrap-up phase, and I actually wasted another day.If we say that we live in a world of wave function construction, then I hope everything is illusory.I can only comfort myself like this.This is the world of probability, which is very suitable for my current state.Copenhagen Interpretation In the absence of observation, the material world at the quantum level does not have specific properties, and observation collapses the uncertain state of the universe into a classical mechanical state.
So today I just happen to have not been watched by the goddess of luck, but this is just a matter of probability, as if no one can be lucky forever, and no one will be unlucky forever.I will meet with Ning Zi tomorrow afternoon, maybe I should discuss more specific issues with him.After all, the next semester's mathematics department curriculum arrangement of the University of Physical Education needs more specific content, so that's it.Anyway, I'm not very satisfied with the state of today. "
After finishing writing the diary and closing the diary, Dominion Duncan stretched, then looked up at the wall clock in the room, it was already ten o'clock in the evening.He decided to go to bed early today to end this boring day.
Originally, Dominion Duncan could chat with Conan Lamar later, but today, the Turing Award winner who is ten years older than him makes him feel very boring, and makes him feel that he may chase after him forever. I can't keep up with Ning Zi's pace.
It is better to sleep.
Let those difficult questions be handed over to Ning Zi, the guy chosen by the Goddess of Wisdom!Thinking that Ning Zi might still be burning the lights at night, but he could lie on a comfortable bed, Dominit Duncan suddenly felt much better.
This is what life is!
……
However, Ning Zi was not thinking about math problems at this time.
In fact, he had just walked out of Lu's house at ten o'clock in the evening.
In the evening, Lu Xiaoya's parents were invited to dinner, probably because the gift they gave was very satisfactory, and Ning Zi was invited by Lu's family to visit their home again.Zhang Haifeng tactfully took his leave after paying the bill and left without participating in this family gathering.
Fortunately, it was a very ordinary guest. Everyone sat in the living room watching TV, gossiping, and there was nothing restrained. It was this kind of family atmosphere that made Ning Zi feel quite warm.
Lu Xiaoya decided to stay at home for one night.
It is understandable, after all, the parents have just arrived.
After Ning Zi offered to leave, Lu Yichuan offered to send him downstairs.
Unexpectedly, it makes sense.
Ning Zi was also polite, and the two men walked into the elevator silently.
Then we chatted for a few words, really only two sentences.
"Xiaoning, I only have one daughter, Xiaoya."
"Ah."
"Treat her better in the future."
"it is good."
Well, in fact, Ning Zi quite likes this way of getting along, after all, he doesn't know what to say after talking too much.
After all, things like swearing and swearing are boring.
Of course, being able to say these two sentences in the end probably also represents Lu Yichuan's approval of him, which shows that he performed well today.This kind of recognition is almost as fast as solving a math problem. After all, emotional communication has always been his weakness.
There was no traffic jam at night, and I returned to school before eleven o'clock.
Entering the room, Ning Zi felt that March was in a good mood today.
In fact, he has been thinking about why March has an emotional system similar to that of humans. After all, human emotions are mainly controlled by various hormones, and the emotional appeal of organisms has an extremely complex biological system.
The machines obviously don't have any hormones to control behavior.Although the emotions expressed in March are relatively simple at present, and it seems that there are only two monotonous emotional characteristics of excitement and nostalgia, but this is already an extremely powerful technological breakthrough.
The only explanation that Ning Zi can think of is that the big guy who designed March used Fourier transformation to generate electronic signals to stimulate its core to simulate biological hormones, and use this to make March produce some emotional characteristics .It's a pity that this is just a guess. Ning Zi has not yet controlled the kernel program of March, so there is no way to verify it for the time being.
If this point can be proved, there will probably be another technological revolution in the world.
But he wasn't in a hurry to confirm that either.
Instead, after an excited kitten glanced at each other, they sat down in front of the computer.
It was still the usual communication mode, and the head of the kitten in the penguin began to flicker.
"Meow, the epoch-making World Semiconductor Alliance will soon be born. The alliance will take on the historical mission of hindering the rise of China's semiconductor technology, and will pass a series of restrictive measures to stagnate the largest chip research and development center in Asia that will soon be put into operation. Their restrictive measures are Such a wide range will carry out all-round encirclement and suppression by restricting the transfer of industrial chains, restricting technological exchanges, restricting the flow of talents, and restricting transactions.
Think about it, when these measures are implemented, China's semiconductor industry system will suffer an unprecedented blow.The inability to introduce production lines means that more advanced process technologies cannot be reverse-developed and can only rely on their own technology accumulation.Restricting technical exchanges will suspend many investment projects that have already been launched, causing great losses. Restricting the flow of talents means that many relevant talents need to be retrained. Restricting transactions means that many manufacturers will not be able to obtain the latest technology chips, and product competitiveness will fall. Difficult.
Of course, these companies will also be backlashed by this series of measures, which means that their profits will be forced to give up part of the Chinese market, which means that profits will be reduced, production lines will shrink, and they will need to find new manufacturing plants and give up The supply chain system that has been extremely mature before has invested in higher manufacturing costs and risked rebuilding a complete supply chain.
This is a duel between knights.They want to teach us a lesson, let us know who is in charge of this world!Meow, God knows how much I like their unruly attitude.The World Semiconductor Federation will definitely be an organization recorded in history!Such a comprehensive encirclement and suppression strategy is exciting.You know, they want to separate us from the world at a whole level. In a sense, the great Yanbei University of Physical Education has passively received an epic mission copy to fight against the whole world!Meow... Do you feel the shock? "
Ning Zi carefully looked at the content sent by March.
Sure enough, it fits the excitement of March.
The cat actually doesn't care much about the loss of both parties, it cares more about the impact.Simply put, the greater the impact of an event, the more exciting it will be.
Chi Guoguo's rogue thinking.
But in Ning Zi's view, the whole matter has nothing to do with him.
That's right, it's the kitten's business to engage in the industrial revolution.So the so-called targeted lesson on the other side is also a layout for kittens. Of course, perhaps Sanyue had already expected this kind of situation to happen, and even thought of a solution.
But none of this was his business, but since the cat was so excited, he had to cooperate, so he asked, "So is this a good thing or a bad thing?"
"Meow, of course it's a good thing. It just so happens that we can show our weakness to the enemy. Is the most important thing now is to compete for chip technology? No, no, no, this is not important at all. So even if we have a mature solution, don't worry Take it out. Let them feel complacent, feel that they have a chance to win, and feel that the situation has been controlled by them. What we have to do at this time is to develop robotics silently according to the established plan.
Think about it, they think they have grasped our seven inches, they will think that we are at a loss, and then use a superior attitude to tell us that these areas are their forbidden areas, and we can't even take a look.But who knows that Tida is just trying to do what he can, and is just silently completing his mission.Until that day, when our humanoid robot goes online, and the internal microprocessor is a framework developed by us, what kind of mood will it be?
Doesn't this excite you?It took several years to re-arrange, and use the means of hurting one thousand and self-damaging eight hundred to fight the enemy desperately, but finally found that everything they did was useless.Not only that, they have not been able to seize the market with low prices during the window period and grasp the basic market, which also means that when our products are launched on the market, they can only be at a loss.
It’s really like seeing that picture, you know?This is true aesthetics.The entire industry chain that they are proud of will be hit subversively. At that time, how many people will not be able to accept the reality, and their careers will be wiped out in a flash.So-called state-of-the-art equipment suddenly starts to lose value.On the same day, you can replace me and tell them with regret that this is probably life.
I believe that when you say that sentence in a regretful tone, the follow-up pictures will be extremely beautiful. At that time, the development of the University will speed up, and the development of our laboratory will also speed up. Believe me, our initial goals will definitely be achieved. achieved as soon as possible. "
The aria-like prophecy suddenly made Ning Zi feel absurd.
He suddenly felt that March could actually be a screenwriter.
The story it makes up may not be worse than the scripts that those screenwriters racked their brains to write.
After all, its aesthetics are actually very characteristic.
It's just the aesthetics of this machine, why does Ning Zi always have a bad taste.
Well, maybe it was influenced by the previous owner, obviously this cat prefers to see a group of people annoyed and frustrated to the extreme.
Just after boasting that he moves like a knight, it gave you a plan to deal with it, which Ning Zi didn't expect.
He thought that the cat would directly declare war, and then use the latest chip technology to slap the opponent in the face.
After all, the chip research and development center has basically been built.
Wait, it hurts a thousand people...
Ning Zi asked again: "So you hurt the enemy one thousand, which one is it?"
"Meow, of course it is the industrial clusters related to Huaxia. Basically, the more leading companies, the more serious the losses after the promulgation of this round of restrictive measures, such as Youwei Group, such as Huaxin Precision, Datang Chip, etc. There are 37 leading semiconductor companies affected, and the business contraction of these 37 leading companies will affect the 836 upstream and downstream companies and manufacturers. This is unavoidable.
These companies will usher in the most difficult period of time.How long this time will be depends on when our robot technology will be launched.Of course, some companies may go bankrupt because they cannot sustain themselves, but this is actually a process of benign innovation.Being able to survive this level of attack is enough to show the vitality of these companies, and they will also become partners of the big body in the future.
It can be said that this strike is very timely and considerate. On the one hand, it diverts our attention, allowing us to secretly exert our efforts in another field, and on the other hand, it can also test the internal enterprise's ability to withstand pressure.I am very satisfied with the cooperation of the opposite party. After all, singing a one-man show is a very boring thing. An excellent drama must have a group of good enough supporting actors to perform it. "
Ning Zi didn't know what else to talk about.
Anyway, it seems that it will win in March.
But he also can't ask that artificial intelligence can have the same complex emotions as humans.So there doesn't seem to be much he can do now.
But how to put it, he felt that it was necessary to make a phone call with Ge Dongshu.
After all, March also said that Youwei Group will be one of the most affected companies this time.And the cooperation between the two parties is not bad, especially Ge Dongshu once helped him no matter what.
So Ning Zi took out her mobile phone silently, and then dialed Ge Dongshu's number.
The phone was connected quickly, which Ning Zi admired Ge Dongshu very much, because no matter when he called this high-ranking boss, he would always connect immediately, even if the line was busy.Even late at night.
As soon as the phone was connected, a hearty voice came from the other side: "Ning Zi, I haven't contacted you for a long time. Did you think of my brother today?"
Well, hearing this optimistic voice, Ning Zi was a little embarrassed to report the bad news.
In fact, after the two met, every time he gave Ge Dongshu advice, it was quite embarrassing.
For example, the last suggestion was to let Youwei Group temporarily give up the entire European and American telecommunications equipment market. Of course, it is definitely a correct proposal now. Can quickly gain a firm foothold in the international market.
Now that he has finally caught his breath, he wants to inform the other party of bad news...
"I'm afraid it's not good news. Mr. Ge, I just got some news that a World Semiconductor Alliance will be established these days. It's a pity that there are no Chinese companies in this alliance, and they will issue some policies, which may cause damage to Youwei Group. relatively large impact."
"Oh? You mean this Silicon Valley conference?"
"I'm not quite sure what the Silicon Valley conference you're talking about is. But...it should be related to the conference you mentioned. There should be 63 companies participating, right?" Ning Zi looked at the screen given in March said the data.
"63? I really don't know the exact number. I just heard that such a meeting is being held. We haven't received an invitation either. What policy are you talking about?"
"In fact, it's nothing, it hasn't been finalized yet, but the policy that may be promulgated is to re-evaluate the various technologies provided in the alliance, and the software and hardware products that involve key competition will be restricted from being provided to semiconductor-related manufacturers in mainland China; re-approval For the technical composition of the foundry industry chain, companies that reach a certain percentage will no longer be allowed to conduct taping and foundry for Huaxia’s chip design; re-evaluate the relevant production lines invested in Huaxia, and the construction of production lines involving advanced manufacturing processes may be cancelled; Reassess the impact of relevant talents and information exchange..."
The measures given in March were very detailed, and Ning Zi read it through, and it took about 5 minutes to finish reading, and then the other side of the phone fell silent.
After reading, Ning Zi didn't know what to say.
Of course he knew what these measures meant.
No matter what, the blow to the Promising Group is still very strong.
After all, the M10 has just become one of the best-selling models in the world, and now it is time to release the M20, but obviously these upcoming measures will directly affect the production of the M20.
More than that, the M30 may be far away, which also means that the huge investment in the early stage may lose everything.
Just now, one main business, wireless, went smoothly, and the other business line, which could bring huge cash flow, is facing a test again. Ning Zi probably understands Ge Dongshu's mood at this time.
After all, Youwei Group is the only company in the world that can compete with Apple in the high-end smartphone market.
Unfortunately, Apple is not among the 63 companies in the upcoming World Semiconductor Alliance, so there is no reason for Ning Zi to find out about it.
After a while, Ge Dongshu asked with difficulty: "Is this news accurate?"
"My sources of information are generally very accurate. At least so far, there has been no wrong judgment. Of course, the specific measures finally introduced by the alliance may have some discrepancies. After all, there is still an approval process, but the difference should not be bad."
Ning Zi's answer was very pragmatic.The information received in March has indeed never been wrong in the general direction.
"That's really regrettable news. Huh... that is to say, if the orders we have placed involve companies in the alliance, they may be suspended?"
"The orders that have already been placed should not be affected. After all, breach of contract is to bear the liability for compensation. Now it seems that the alliance does not have sufficient budget to bear the losses of internal members. However, new orders may not be so easy to sign. Technical exchange It may have a greater impact on talent.”
"I probably understand, thank you, Ning Zi, this news is very timely. Also, do you have any suggestions?"
Suggest……
To be honest, Ning Zi really didn't know what to suggest this time.
If March adopts the strategy of facing each other, he can still give Ge Dongshu an approximate timeline, but what March wants to play is you fight yours, and I fight mine, so it is hard to say.
"Well, my suggestion is probably to survive through the advantageous industries first."
"What about our HiSilicon laboratory? If these policies are really implemented, then the research on Kirin chips will not be possible."
"I think it's possible to switch to the research of the operating system. Let's put down the hardware first, maybe it will turn around in the future? If there is still room, maybe we can cooperate and let the HiSilicon laboratory turn to do some research on the direction of humanoid robots. In this regard, I can also provide you with some information. The main research direction is the sensor, the structural design of increasing flexibility, and related systems. Of course, if you are also interested in this direction.”
"A humanoid robot?"
"Yes, this is a development direction that I am very optimistic about. A humanoid robot with an intelligent system can move through its legs and has a sufficiently dexterous arm. It can achieve many functions. We can even embed the functions of a smartphone into it. The most important thing is that we have already made an intelligent model that can understand speech and semantics, and now we just need to make a body for it.”
"Uh... To be honest, this is a completely different direction of development, and it's something we haven't thought about before. But it's very creative. But this kind of robot technology also depends on semiconductor chips, right? How do you plan to solve this?"
"We can design exclusive industrial chips through the process we have mastered. If the performance requirements of the robot itself are not so high, the robot can move without the support of high-end chips at all. Professional algorithms, professional chip design. Anyway As far as I know, these restrictions will not have much impact on our robotics research."
"Okay, Ning Zi, anyway, thanks for calling. I'll report it right away. I'll get back to you soon. By the way, if you can, send me a copy of the procedures you just read to me Mail?"
"No problem, but the reply doesn't have to be fast, this matter is not that urgent, and I'm going to rest."
"Uh... alright. Thanks."
"You are welcome! See you."
"Goodbye."
……
After hanging up the phone, Ning Zi simply stood up and got ready to go to bed.
He still felt that this matter had little to do with him from the beginning to the end.
Informing Youwei Group was all he could do, even if he issued a warning now, it would be of little use.
Regardless of any restrictive measures, it must take time to adapt from the introduction to the implementation.
It doesn't really mean much to know one day earlier, and the biggest use is probably the psychological comfort.
Can be more calm when facing problems.
But it's a pity that many people in Youwei Group probably couldn't get a good night's sleep today.
……
This is indeed the case, Ge Dongshu called the founder of the company as soon as he hung up Ning Zi's phone.
In fact, at this time, the old man in the company is no longer directly managing the front-line affairs, but this kind of major event that requires strategic decision-making naturally still requires the old man's advice.
Unsurprisingly, when the old man heard the news, he quickly held a conference call.
The email sent by Ning Zi has also been lying in the mailboxes of all members of the board of directors.
Most of us also know what is about to happen.
No one is going to confirm the authenticity anymore, because the real decision must be made after the World Semiconductor Alliance was formally established and then promulgated these policies. At this time, everyone knows that what needs to be discussed is how to deal with it.
Ge Dongshu's mood was indeed as complicated as Ning Zi thought.
The last time an emergency meeting was held because of Ning Zi's remarks, the discussion was to temporarily abandon the European and American markets.
He even remembers how hard the decision was made that day.
They never expected that just as the one-year anniversary of that incident was about to pass, they would have to face an extremely difficult decision again.The degree of difficulty is no less than last year's discussion on temporarily withdrawing the telecommunications business from the European and American markets.
This time even made him doubt whether the choice of making a mobile phone and developing a CPU by himself was right.
Before the moat was fully erected, blows came one after another.
……
"Probably this is the case. Ning Zi's suggestion is that we can cooperate with the University to get involved in the field of robotics. This is a brand new field. Ning Zi's suggestion is to give us some relevant information to help them make sensors and body structural parts. research, but for us there is absolutely no technical reserve and talent reserve in this area.”
Ge Dongshu was still the first to speak, after all, he was the first to communicate with Ning Zi.
It was already 11:30 in the middle of the night, and even some people had already fallen asleep and got up to attend the meeting after receiving the notification, and no one could give appropriate suggestions at the first time.
"Is it too difficult for HiSilicon to be forced to abandon the research of the Kirin series CPU and turn to research on robots? It is better for HiSilicon to keep it, but it can reduce some manpower. If there is a breakthrough in the direction of robotics, it is indeed an important future. The direction of development. But in terms of the current situation of the group, I think it is too ambitious to start in multiple fields?"
"I agree with this idea. If I really want to invest in the field of robotics, I think I need to have in-depth communication with Ning Zi. And it is best to do what we can when talking. For example, we can be mainly responsible for a certain field, such as the overall response system research of robots. .Of course, it also depends on the extent of the data support provided by Ning Zi. After all, this is an extremely expensive project. Boston Dynamics burns billions of dollars every year, but it has not yet found a profitable direction.”
"In addition, we feel that we can immediately add an order to test the other party's reaction. In any case, the M20 will be released soon. If we can increase the foundry order, we can stock a batch of chips. As a last resort, the CPU of the next generation product can still rely on The current generation of products is released to prolong the life of the consumer business as much as possible. I have seen these restrictions, and if they are really implemented, no one may survive the other.”
……
Soon everyone in the meeting started giving opinions.
Halfway through the meeting, Ge Dongshu had consciously started booking tickets for himself.
Regardless of whether a result can be negotiated today, he will definitely go to the capital to have an interview with Ning Zi.
There is no way, even in the Youwei Group, there are not many people who can meet Ning Zi.
He was the only one who made the trip himself.
Sure enough, an hour later, the meeting ended, and he also received the task of going to the capital to communicate with Ning Zi in detail.It is not to verify whether the sanction measures will really be implemented. If such a thing is really implemented, it must be directly announced and told to the whole world.
Everything they are doing now can only be a rainy day.
So his main task is to sit with Ning Zi and talk about whether the robot plan is reliable.
This task is actually more burdensome.
Because this is not something that can be solved by just talking with Ning Zi casually.He has to make an accurate judgment, such as whether the output of this technology can support the current investment in the near future.
After all, Youwei Group has a different way of thinking from Ning Zi.
Ning Zi is a scientist. What he is interested in does not necessarily need to have market value, as long as it can promote technological progress, he can do it.
But Youwei Group needs to make a profit in order to survive in the market competition. How much this technology can boost productivity is secondary. The most important thing is how soon this technology can be implemented, and whether Youwei can afford the initial investment. How long does it take for the project to be industrialized after it lands, how big is the market prospect, how long does the company have to wait to make a profit from this project, and a series of questions.
For this reason, he also specifically checked the situation of Boston Dynamics before going to bed. Obviously, although the company has changed hands three times so far, it still has not found a direction to make profits, and it is still in a state of loss.
The annual release looks cool, but that's about it.
The high price of a few products and the extremely limited application scenarios make this company still unprofitable and can only rely on continuous investment to ensure research and development. Now it seems that this situation will take a long time.
There is a high probability that Youwei Group cannot afford such a long-term R&D investment, let alone this is a brand new track.If you really accept Ning Zi's request, it means starting from scratch...
hemp egg...
Why is it always on hell difficulty?
(End of this chapter)
"Today is the eleventh month and thirteenth day since I arrived in China. I was woken up by the ringing of the phone in the morning. The caller is Emmy Noether. As soon as this guy got through the call, he said that he plans to start researching the Gilbreth conjecture recently. , because he suspects that the Gilbreth conjecture reflects that the interval between adjacent prime numbers is restricted by the order of the prime numbers, and the sequence change of the interval between prime numbers shows that there is a gradual change in the mutation of the difference between adjacent prime numbers, which is one of the external characteristics shown by the law of prime number distribution .
This is really a wonderful idea. Although I don't agree with it, I still encourage him to continue in this direction.After all, he is already 35 this year. If he doesn't work hard, he will miss the Fields Medal in this life.Of course, I resolutely declined the invitation to study this topic together.After all, I don't want to be ridiculed by Ning Zi and start doing some boring subjects again.
I thought this thread was over.But Emmy also asked me if Ning Zi had considered solving the problem in this direction.Well, I understand, this guy didn't want to discuss this issue with me at all when he called, he was simply afraid that Ning Zi had already set his sights on the series of questions about Mason prime numbers.It makes me unhappy, do these guys forget that I'm also a Fields Medal man?
So I decided to scare him and told him that Ning Zi was working on solving the Landau Siegel conjecture.Sure enough, this answer made Emmy feel very disappointed in the following conversation.Well, in the end I relented and told him that Ning Zi should not have time to think about these issues at least for the time being.Because he is studying NP-type problems, he is also studying related quantum physics problems.
Although I teased him halfway, Emmy thanked me before hanging up the phone.Although his thanks are insincere in my opinion.Of course, those of us who are engaged in number theory are generally thankful without sincerity.After all, most of the time we do live in the world we construct, but most of us are frustrated all our lives. Fortunately, I should be regarded as an exception.
Nothing to say next.Yanbei University did not arrange my courses on Monday, so I had a very leisurely morning to think about the problem.The hateful thing is that the formula Ning Zi gave me still doesn't include the idea of overall adaptability, so I thought about many possibilities this morning, but I still have no clue.Yes, I wasted a good morning without the rewards of convincing myself I was there.
If I had known this, I shouldn't have hung up on Emmy so early. Maybe talking to him would give me some inspiration.But in that case, I will be compared to Ning Zi again, because he really rarely communicates with his peers.I don't know if I should feel honored, because he probably communicated with me the most on the mathematical level.However, his understanding of mathematics is obviously deeper than mine, and the content covered is also wider.
In any case, I will definitely not waste the time in the afternoon.Because today is another day to learn Chinese.My Chinese teacher Ding Shiwen came to my apartment on time at [-] o'clock in the afternoon. Today's learning content is complements, including result complements and quantity complements, etc.To be honest, Chinese is really a very strange language. After running and climbing mountains... They seem to be very keen to insert a word to express the meaning of a thing they do. To be honest, this Very FUCK!
I thought the result complement was already difficult, but the quantity complement made me feel even more broken.Because the number complements in Chinese are random. For example, I can say a year, a week, a day, and an hour, but if I just say a month, I can't!Because January can only refer to a certain month here, they invented a month to refer to a period of time in months.
In the same way, you can talk about a month, a week, or an hour, but you can't talk about a year, or a day... Ah, I'm already going crazy.But this has not yet introduced the concept of half. For example, one and a half months can be understood, and one and a half years can also be understood, but one and a half weeks is not allowed.Let's see, random, or random, I don't understand how Chinese people understand these messy rules when they were young, but I admire them for being able to use this language proficiently at a very young age, because it's too abstract!
But I still underestimated the deep malice of Chinese to human logical language, because there are time-quantity complements, momentum complements, possible complements, and trend complements.I have to work hard and it belongs to the future continuous tense, which means that I will start to work hard next time; I have to work hard, it is the present continuous tense, which means that I have worked hard before and will work hard again... God, it is really true to get up and keep going Is it used like this?Shouldn't it be standing up and sitting down?This damn Chinese!
Today's class ended very early, because I feel that I can't learn anymore.If someone told me before that a language can be designed to be more brain-intensive than math, I would just scoff.But today I believe it.So it is not surprising that people like Ning Zi appear in China. Human beings who can communicate without barriers in this language environment should have stronger abstract thinking ability.
Because it was not yet five o'clock, Teacher Ding didn't leave but started chatting with me.She said that if I really want to keep up with the trend of the times, I have to learn the current Internet Chinese.For example, Jiangyuan City represents a place name, but if someone says Gongyuan City on the Internet, it represents Jiangyuan City, which is very hot in summer or has been drought for a long time, which means that it is too dry and the water evaporates.
Well, this is really NICE.I don't understand what this teacher Ding meant by looking at me while laughing when he said this sentence. Maybe it's because I don't understand the humor of Huaxia people.Fortunately, Conan Lamar called me out of the blue and asked me to have dinner and a drink with me.I agreed to his invitation without thinking. After all, Conan is one of the few friends I have in China.
Although Fang is also a very nice person and would often discuss with me some cases about the complex power system, he is still too rigid.His thinking is not active enough, and he belongs to the kind of orthodox old-fashioned person. It makes people feel safe to deal with him, but he is very restrained.Conan Lamar is different. Although I know that this person is very cunning, and he really can't do that kind of thing, but after all, it is easy to communicate with him.
After seeing off Teacher Ding, he took a shower and went out.I made an appointment with Conan in Windy City. Thanks to the Fields Award, I have been given special treatment in school. I only need to make a phone call and arrange a special car to pick me up.When he arrived at the restaurant, the guy had already ordered a bottle of red wine which was said to be of good quality.But actually I prefer champagne, but today is his treat, so I put up with it.
I thought it was just an ordinary gathering of friends that Conan came to me, but he told me a very surprising thing.Ning Zi once showed him a very special smart software, the kind that can be programmed independently.In fact, after hearing his description, I think the original intention of this software is not to design other software or games, but to assist mathematicians in programming.
Come to think of it, mathematical languages are easier for machines to understand than natural languages.After thinking about it, I was disappointed.In the morning, I thought that I was the one who communicated with Ning Zi the most, but obviously I was not that important in Ning Zi's heart, for example, I didn't even know that such a software existed.Conan obviously didn't know for a day.Because according to him, he just talked about this issue with the president of Cisco yesterday, and maybe this software will be on the market soon.
Next comes a discussion on mathematics.Conan believes that Ning Zi's research on artificial intelligence number theory has reached a very deep level.Well, he actually wanted to ask me if I knew if Ning Zi had made a subversive breakthrough in this regard.I answered ambiguously, which made me feel more at ease.See, you still have to come to me when you encounter this kind of problem.Actually I don't know anything.
Recently, most of my exchanges with Ning Zi have focused on quasi-orthogonal problems, focusing on special branch problems in this type of problem.Something like C(B)=Σe∈BC(e), but I don't want to talk to Conan Lamar about that.Conan Lamar suspects that Ning Zi has solved the NP-complete problem to a certain extent, but only I know that he hopes to use quantum computing to solve this type of problem, and he is still exploring at this time.
Although I felt very comfortable in my heart, on the way back to school, I suddenly found that there was a big problem with my mentality.To use a Chinese idiom, it's jealousy?God can see that I was just forced to stay in the body, why now I have such a terrible idea?Stockholm Syndrome?Well, maybe I'm just curious whether Ning Zi can really solve that world's problem.Yes, it must be so.
It's time for the wrap-up phase, and I actually wasted another day.If we say that we live in a world of wave function construction, then I hope everything is illusory.I can only comfort myself like this.This is the world of probability, which is very suitable for my current state.Copenhagen Interpretation In the absence of observation, the material world at the quantum level does not have specific properties, and observation collapses the uncertain state of the universe into a classical mechanical state.
So today I just happen to have not been watched by the goddess of luck, but this is just a matter of probability, as if no one can be lucky forever, and no one will be unlucky forever.I will meet with Ning Zi tomorrow afternoon, maybe I should discuss more specific issues with him.After all, the next semester's mathematics department curriculum arrangement of the University of Physical Education needs more specific content, so that's it.Anyway, I'm not very satisfied with the state of today. "
After finishing writing the diary and closing the diary, Dominion Duncan stretched, then looked up at the wall clock in the room, it was already ten o'clock in the evening.He decided to go to bed early today to end this boring day.
Originally, Dominion Duncan could chat with Conan Lamar later, but today, the Turing Award winner who is ten years older than him makes him feel very boring, and makes him feel that he may chase after him forever. I can't keep up with Ning Zi's pace.
It is better to sleep.
Let those difficult questions be handed over to Ning Zi, the guy chosen by the Goddess of Wisdom!Thinking that Ning Zi might still be burning the lights at night, but he could lie on a comfortable bed, Dominit Duncan suddenly felt much better.
This is what life is!
……
However, Ning Zi was not thinking about math problems at this time.
In fact, he had just walked out of Lu's house at ten o'clock in the evening.
In the evening, Lu Xiaoya's parents were invited to dinner, probably because the gift they gave was very satisfactory, and Ning Zi was invited by Lu's family to visit their home again.Zhang Haifeng tactfully took his leave after paying the bill and left without participating in this family gathering.
Fortunately, it was a very ordinary guest. Everyone sat in the living room watching TV, gossiping, and there was nothing restrained. It was this kind of family atmosphere that made Ning Zi feel quite warm.
Lu Xiaoya decided to stay at home for one night.
It is understandable, after all, the parents have just arrived.
After Ning Zi offered to leave, Lu Yichuan offered to send him downstairs.
Unexpectedly, it makes sense.
Ning Zi was also polite, and the two men walked into the elevator silently.
Then we chatted for a few words, really only two sentences.
"Xiaoning, I only have one daughter, Xiaoya."
"Ah."
"Treat her better in the future."
"it is good."
Well, in fact, Ning Zi quite likes this way of getting along, after all, he doesn't know what to say after talking too much.
After all, things like swearing and swearing are boring.
Of course, being able to say these two sentences in the end probably also represents Lu Yichuan's approval of him, which shows that he performed well today.This kind of recognition is almost as fast as solving a math problem. After all, emotional communication has always been his weakness.
There was no traffic jam at night, and I returned to school before eleven o'clock.
Entering the room, Ning Zi felt that March was in a good mood today.
In fact, he has been thinking about why March has an emotional system similar to that of humans. After all, human emotions are mainly controlled by various hormones, and the emotional appeal of organisms has an extremely complex biological system.
The machines obviously don't have any hormones to control behavior.Although the emotions expressed in March are relatively simple at present, and it seems that there are only two monotonous emotional characteristics of excitement and nostalgia, but this is already an extremely powerful technological breakthrough.
The only explanation that Ning Zi can think of is that the big guy who designed March used Fourier transformation to generate electronic signals to stimulate its core to simulate biological hormones, and use this to make March produce some emotional characteristics .It's a pity that this is just a guess. Ning Zi has not yet controlled the kernel program of March, so there is no way to verify it for the time being.
If this point can be proved, there will probably be another technological revolution in the world.
But he wasn't in a hurry to confirm that either.
Instead, after an excited kitten glanced at each other, they sat down in front of the computer.
It was still the usual communication mode, and the head of the kitten in the penguin began to flicker.
"Meow, the epoch-making World Semiconductor Alliance will soon be born. The alliance will take on the historical mission of hindering the rise of China's semiconductor technology, and will pass a series of restrictive measures to stagnate the largest chip research and development center in Asia that will soon be put into operation. Their restrictive measures are Such a wide range will carry out all-round encirclement and suppression by restricting the transfer of industrial chains, restricting technological exchanges, restricting the flow of talents, and restricting transactions.
Think about it, when these measures are implemented, China's semiconductor industry system will suffer an unprecedented blow.The inability to introduce production lines means that more advanced process technologies cannot be reverse-developed and can only rely on their own technology accumulation.Restricting technical exchanges will suspend many investment projects that have already been launched, causing great losses. Restricting the flow of talents means that many relevant talents need to be retrained. Restricting transactions means that many manufacturers will not be able to obtain the latest technology chips, and product competitiveness will fall. Difficult.
Of course, these companies will also be backlashed by this series of measures, which means that their profits will be forced to give up part of the Chinese market, which means that profits will be reduced, production lines will shrink, and they will need to find new manufacturing plants and give up The supply chain system that has been extremely mature before has invested in higher manufacturing costs and risked rebuilding a complete supply chain.
This is a duel between knights.They want to teach us a lesson, let us know who is in charge of this world!Meow, God knows how much I like their unruly attitude.The World Semiconductor Federation will definitely be an organization recorded in history!Such a comprehensive encirclement and suppression strategy is exciting.You know, they want to separate us from the world at a whole level. In a sense, the great Yanbei University of Physical Education has passively received an epic mission copy to fight against the whole world!Meow... Do you feel the shock? "
Ning Zi carefully looked at the content sent by March.
Sure enough, it fits the excitement of March.
The cat actually doesn't care much about the loss of both parties, it cares more about the impact.Simply put, the greater the impact of an event, the more exciting it will be.
Chi Guoguo's rogue thinking.
But in Ning Zi's view, the whole matter has nothing to do with him.
That's right, it's the kitten's business to engage in the industrial revolution.So the so-called targeted lesson on the other side is also a layout for kittens. Of course, perhaps Sanyue had already expected this kind of situation to happen, and even thought of a solution.
But none of this was his business, but since the cat was so excited, he had to cooperate, so he asked, "So is this a good thing or a bad thing?"
"Meow, of course it's a good thing. It just so happens that we can show our weakness to the enemy. Is the most important thing now is to compete for chip technology? No, no, no, this is not important at all. So even if we have a mature solution, don't worry Take it out. Let them feel complacent, feel that they have a chance to win, and feel that the situation has been controlled by them. What we have to do at this time is to develop robotics silently according to the established plan.
Think about it, they think they have grasped our seven inches, they will think that we are at a loss, and then use a superior attitude to tell us that these areas are their forbidden areas, and we can't even take a look.But who knows that Tida is just trying to do what he can, and is just silently completing his mission.Until that day, when our humanoid robot goes online, and the internal microprocessor is a framework developed by us, what kind of mood will it be?
Doesn't this excite you?It took several years to re-arrange, and use the means of hurting one thousand and self-damaging eight hundred to fight the enemy desperately, but finally found that everything they did was useless.Not only that, they have not been able to seize the market with low prices during the window period and grasp the basic market, which also means that when our products are launched on the market, they can only be at a loss.
It’s really like seeing that picture, you know?This is true aesthetics.The entire industry chain that they are proud of will be hit subversively. At that time, how many people will not be able to accept the reality, and their careers will be wiped out in a flash.So-called state-of-the-art equipment suddenly starts to lose value.On the same day, you can replace me and tell them with regret that this is probably life.
I believe that when you say that sentence in a regretful tone, the follow-up pictures will be extremely beautiful. At that time, the development of the University will speed up, and the development of our laboratory will also speed up. Believe me, our initial goals will definitely be achieved. achieved as soon as possible. "
The aria-like prophecy suddenly made Ning Zi feel absurd.
He suddenly felt that March could actually be a screenwriter.
The story it makes up may not be worse than the scripts that those screenwriters racked their brains to write.
After all, its aesthetics are actually very characteristic.
It's just the aesthetics of this machine, why does Ning Zi always have a bad taste.
Well, maybe it was influenced by the previous owner, obviously this cat prefers to see a group of people annoyed and frustrated to the extreme.
Just after boasting that he moves like a knight, it gave you a plan to deal with it, which Ning Zi didn't expect.
He thought that the cat would directly declare war, and then use the latest chip technology to slap the opponent in the face.
After all, the chip research and development center has basically been built.
Wait, it hurts a thousand people...
Ning Zi asked again: "So you hurt the enemy one thousand, which one is it?"
"Meow, of course it is the industrial clusters related to Huaxia. Basically, the more leading companies, the more serious the losses after the promulgation of this round of restrictive measures, such as Youwei Group, such as Huaxin Precision, Datang Chip, etc. There are 37 leading semiconductor companies affected, and the business contraction of these 37 leading companies will affect the 836 upstream and downstream companies and manufacturers. This is unavoidable.
These companies will usher in the most difficult period of time.How long this time will be depends on when our robot technology will be launched.Of course, some companies may go bankrupt because they cannot sustain themselves, but this is actually a process of benign innovation.Being able to survive this level of attack is enough to show the vitality of these companies, and they will also become partners of the big body in the future.
It can be said that this strike is very timely and considerate. On the one hand, it diverts our attention, allowing us to secretly exert our efforts in another field, and on the other hand, it can also test the internal enterprise's ability to withstand pressure.I am very satisfied with the cooperation of the opposite party. After all, singing a one-man show is a very boring thing. An excellent drama must have a group of good enough supporting actors to perform it. "
Ning Zi didn't know what else to talk about.
Anyway, it seems that it will win in March.
But he also can't ask that artificial intelligence can have the same complex emotions as humans.So there doesn't seem to be much he can do now.
But how to put it, he felt that it was necessary to make a phone call with Ge Dongshu.
After all, March also said that Youwei Group will be one of the most affected companies this time.And the cooperation between the two parties is not bad, especially Ge Dongshu once helped him no matter what.
So Ning Zi took out her mobile phone silently, and then dialed Ge Dongshu's number.
The phone was connected quickly, which Ning Zi admired Ge Dongshu very much, because no matter when he called this high-ranking boss, he would always connect immediately, even if the line was busy.Even late at night.
As soon as the phone was connected, a hearty voice came from the other side: "Ning Zi, I haven't contacted you for a long time. Did you think of my brother today?"
Well, hearing this optimistic voice, Ning Zi was a little embarrassed to report the bad news.
In fact, after the two met, every time he gave Ge Dongshu advice, it was quite embarrassing.
For example, the last suggestion was to let Youwei Group temporarily give up the entire European and American telecommunications equipment market. Of course, it is definitely a correct proposal now. Can quickly gain a firm foothold in the international market.
Now that he has finally caught his breath, he wants to inform the other party of bad news...
"I'm afraid it's not good news. Mr. Ge, I just got some news that a World Semiconductor Alliance will be established these days. It's a pity that there are no Chinese companies in this alliance, and they will issue some policies, which may cause damage to Youwei Group. relatively large impact."
"Oh? You mean this Silicon Valley conference?"
"I'm not quite sure what the Silicon Valley conference you're talking about is. But...it should be related to the conference you mentioned. There should be 63 companies participating, right?" Ning Zi looked at the screen given in March said the data.
"63? I really don't know the exact number. I just heard that such a meeting is being held. We haven't received an invitation either. What policy are you talking about?"
"In fact, it's nothing, it hasn't been finalized yet, but the policy that may be promulgated is to re-evaluate the various technologies provided in the alliance, and the software and hardware products that involve key competition will be restricted from being provided to semiconductor-related manufacturers in mainland China; re-approval For the technical composition of the foundry industry chain, companies that reach a certain percentage will no longer be allowed to conduct taping and foundry for Huaxia’s chip design; re-evaluate the relevant production lines invested in Huaxia, and the construction of production lines involving advanced manufacturing processes may be cancelled; Reassess the impact of relevant talents and information exchange..."
The measures given in March were very detailed, and Ning Zi read it through, and it took about 5 minutes to finish reading, and then the other side of the phone fell silent.
After reading, Ning Zi didn't know what to say.
Of course he knew what these measures meant.
No matter what, the blow to the Promising Group is still very strong.
After all, the M10 has just become one of the best-selling models in the world, and now it is time to release the M20, but obviously these upcoming measures will directly affect the production of the M20.
More than that, the M30 may be far away, which also means that the huge investment in the early stage may lose everything.
Just now, one main business, wireless, went smoothly, and the other business line, which could bring huge cash flow, is facing a test again. Ning Zi probably understands Ge Dongshu's mood at this time.
After all, Youwei Group is the only company in the world that can compete with Apple in the high-end smartphone market.
Unfortunately, Apple is not among the 63 companies in the upcoming World Semiconductor Alliance, so there is no reason for Ning Zi to find out about it.
After a while, Ge Dongshu asked with difficulty: "Is this news accurate?"
"My sources of information are generally very accurate. At least so far, there has been no wrong judgment. Of course, the specific measures finally introduced by the alliance may have some discrepancies. After all, there is still an approval process, but the difference should not be bad."
Ning Zi's answer was very pragmatic.The information received in March has indeed never been wrong in the general direction.
"That's really regrettable news. Huh... that is to say, if the orders we have placed involve companies in the alliance, they may be suspended?"
"The orders that have already been placed should not be affected. After all, breach of contract is to bear the liability for compensation. Now it seems that the alliance does not have sufficient budget to bear the losses of internal members. However, new orders may not be so easy to sign. Technical exchange It may have a greater impact on talent.”
"I probably understand, thank you, Ning Zi, this news is very timely. Also, do you have any suggestions?"
Suggest……
To be honest, Ning Zi really didn't know what to suggest this time.
If March adopts the strategy of facing each other, he can still give Ge Dongshu an approximate timeline, but what March wants to play is you fight yours, and I fight mine, so it is hard to say.
"Well, my suggestion is probably to survive through the advantageous industries first."
"What about our HiSilicon laboratory? If these policies are really implemented, then the research on Kirin chips will not be possible."
"I think it's possible to switch to the research of the operating system. Let's put down the hardware first, maybe it will turn around in the future? If there is still room, maybe we can cooperate and let the HiSilicon laboratory turn to do some research on the direction of humanoid robots. In this regard, I can also provide you with some information. The main research direction is the sensor, the structural design of increasing flexibility, and related systems. Of course, if you are also interested in this direction.”
"A humanoid robot?"
"Yes, this is a development direction that I am very optimistic about. A humanoid robot with an intelligent system can move through its legs and has a sufficiently dexterous arm. It can achieve many functions. We can even embed the functions of a smartphone into it. The most important thing is that we have already made an intelligent model that can understand speech and semantics, and now we just need to make a body for it.”
"Uh... To be honest, this is a completely different direction of development, and it's something we haven't thought about before. But it's very creative. But this kind of robot technology also depends on semiconductor chips, right? How do you plan to solve this?"
"We can design exclusive industrial chips through the process we have mastered. If the performance requirements of the robot itself are not so high, the robot can move without the support of high-end chips at all. Professional algorithms, professional chip design. Anyway As far as I know, these restrictions will not have much impact on our robotics research."
"Okay, Ning Zi, anyway, thanks for calling. I'll report it right away. I'll get back to you soon. By the way, if you can, send me a copy of the procedures you just read to me Mail?"
"No problem, but the reply doesn't have to be fast, this matter is not that urgent, and I'm going to rest."
"Uh... alright. Thanks."
"You are welcome! See you."
"Goodbye."
……
After hanging up the phone, Ning Zi simply stood up and got ready to go to bed.
He still felt that this matter had little to do with him from the beginning to the end.
Informing Youwei Group was all he could do, even if he issued a warning now, it would be of little use.
Regardless of any restrictive measures, it must take time to adapt from the introduction to the implementation.
It doesn't really mean much to know one day earlier, and the biggest use is probably the psychological comfort.
Can be more calm when facing problems.
But it's a pity that many people in Youwei Group probably couldn't get a good night's sleep today.
……
This is indeed the case, Ge Dongshu called the founder of the company as soon as he hung up Ning Zi's phone.
In fact, at this time, the old man in the company is no longer directly managing the front-line affairs, but this kind of major event that requires strategic decision-making naturally still requires the old man's advice.
Unsurprisingly, when the old man heard the news, he quickly held a conference call.
The email sent by Ning Zi has also been lying in the mailboxes of all members of the board of directors.
Most of us also know what is about to happen.
No one is going to confirm the authenticity anymore, because the real decision must be made after the World Semiconductor Alliance was formally established and then promulgated these policies. At this time, everyone knows that what needs to be discussed is how to deal with it.
Ge Dongshu's mood was indeed as complicated as Ning Zi thought.
The last time an emergency meeting was held because of Ning Zi's remarks, the discussion was to temporarily abandon the European and American markets.
He even remembers how hard the decision was made that day.
They never expected that just as the one-year anniversary of that incident was about to pass, they would have to face an extremely difficult decision again.The degree of difficulty is no less than last year's discussion on temporarily withdrawing the telecommunications business from the European and American markets.
This time even made him doubt whether the choice of making a mobile phone and developing a CPU by himself was right.
Before the moat was fully erected, blows came one after another.
……
"Probably this is the case. Ning Zi's suggestion is that we can cooperate with the University to get involved in the field of robotics. This is a brand new field. Ning Zi's suggestion is to give us some relevant information to help them make sensors and body structural parts. research, but for us there is absolutely no technical reserve and talent reserve in this area.”
Ge Dongshu was still the first to speak, after all, he was the first to communicate with Ning Zi.
It was already 11:30 in the middle of the night, and even some people had already fallen asleep and got up to attend the meeting after receiving the notification, and no one could give appropriate suggestions at the first time.
"Is it too difficult for HiSilicon to be forced to abandon the research of the Kirin series CPU and turn to research on robots? It is better for HiSilicon to keep it, but it can reduce some manpower. If there is a breakthrough in the direction of robotics, it is indeed an important future. The direction of development. But in terms of the current situation of the group, I think it is too ambitious to start in multiple fields?"
"I agree with this idea. If I really want to invest in the field of robotics, I think I need to have in-depth communication with Ning Zi. And it is best to do what we can when talking. For example, we can be mainly responsible for a certain field, such as the overall response system research of robots. .Of course, it also depends on the extent of the data support provided by Ning Zi. After all, this is an extremely expensive project. Boston Dynamics burns billions of dollars every year, but it has not yet found a profitable direction.”
"In addition, we feel that we can immediately add an order to test the other party's reaction. In any case, the M20 will be released soon. If we can increase the foundry order, we can stock a batch of chips. As a last resort, the CPU of the next generation product can still rely on The current generation of products is released to prolong the life of the consumer business as much as possible. I have seen these restrictions, and if they are really implemented, no one may survive the other.”
……
Soon everyone in the meeting started giving opinions.
Halfway through the meeting, Ge Dongshu had consciously started booking tickets for himself.
Regardless of whether a result can be negotiated today, he will definitely go to the capital to have an interview with Ning Zi.
There is no way, even in the Youwei Group, there are not many people who can meet Ning Zi.
He was the only one who made the trip himself.
Sure enough, an hour later, the meeting ended, and he also received the task of going to the capital to communicate with Ning Zi in detail.It is not to verify whether the sanction measures will really be implemented. If such a thing is really implemented, it must be directly announced and told to the whole world.
Everything they are doing now can only be a rainy day.
So his main task is to sit with Ning Zi and talk about whether the robot plan is reliable.
This task is actually more burdensome.
Because this is not something that can be solved by just talking with Ning Zi casually.He has to make an accurate judgment, such as whether the output of this technology can support the current investment in the near future.
After all, Youwei Group has a different way of thinking from Ning Zi.
Ning Zi is a scientist. What he is interested in does not necessarily need to have market value, as long as it can promote technological progress, he can do it.
But Youwei Group needs to make a profit in order to survive in the market competition. How much this technology can boost productivity is secondary. The most important thing is how soon this technology can be implemented, and whether Youwei can afford the initial investment. How long does it take for the project to be industrialized after it lands, how big is the market prospect, how long does the company have to wait to make a profit from this project, and a series of questions.
